I am wondering if anyone could see what was happening on the ride side?

We are missing 2 coasters from the outline across the lake. Thunderhawk and Dominator are gone. The park looks in pretty bad shape. There are trees covering RWB and The Big Dipper is still standing. There are fences all over the water park. I am going to the auction on June 16th. I want to see the inside of the park and find out what's going to happen with The Big Dipper. I hope it remains onsite and it runs again.

You don't have to attend all 3 days unless you plan on buying things from the park or campground. The park auction is the 17th and the campground is the 18th. If you want pictures of the park I guess you're going to have to take them yourself from the waterpark or from the park at the auction. Someone from the inside took them before for the deconstruction thread. There probably won't be anymore photos until the auction is done.

Skyscraper with the window caulking falling off Preferred lot Thunder Falls - note how few people are wating Liquid Lightning - also note short line Main lot - not many cars These pictures were taken mid afternoon around 2pm on a Saturday with 85 degree plus temperatures. Last year at this time the line for TF and LL were down the stairs. _________________ Greed is what caused GL's demise and that just makes me sick.

I know it makes me really sad when I see weather like the past few days and there is no park left to go to. I know last year, my family and I would hit the park when it opens and hit the rides before it got real hit and then cool off in the water park for a bit and then hit the rides some more and have some lunch and after luch we would take a break from the sun and the heat by watching the Tim Hill magic show and the 4-d movie. Man it is sad! I so am wondering what will be happening at that auction!

Nothing has changed and we won't see anything until after the auction. I stopped at the Famous Footwear at the shopping center across the street and it literally made me sick seeing Villain's first two hills and one of DL's loops just sitting there silent on a beautiful day. _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered.

This is going to be a bad year for the point.  And it could have been a god year for Geauga Lake.  If they would have put money into the ride side.  May Kinzel pay for his sin big time

I know they can't replace the park that you went to for 60 years, but I hope that you and your family get a chance to visit Idlewild, Waldameer, Kennywood or Darien Lake this summer.  There is much in all of them that reminds me of Geauga. _________________ "It's a very special ride.
